Curtains For Home Theater Screens

Curtains For Home Theater Screens


Curtains are one of the most important accessories for a home theater and work in the same way as for windows. They add that beautiful look to the room and also hide the screen. They are ideal when the room is being used for some other purpose and the screen cannot be moved out. Besides, curtains also give the feel of a real theater. The curtains can be classified as blackout lined curtains and unlined curtains. They are available in many different sizes: 28 inch, 48 inch, 68 inch, 88 inch, 108 inch, 128 inch, 148 inch, 168 inch, and 188 inch. They can also be classified in the way they open or the way they are drawn, like center opening, two-way draw and one-way draw.

5 Home Theater Design Tips To Consider When Planning Your Home Theater

Location: When thinking about home theater design, consider that an ideal location for a dedicated home theater room is a room that is isolated from the rest of the home, such as a basement. You do not want people walking in and out of the room when you are trying to enjoy your favorite movie. It is also important to keep in mind the surrounding rooms. If you share a wall with a neighbor, your new subwoofer that is the pride and joy of your home theater system may shake the pictures off their wall during intense action scenes. Of course if they have a dog that sneaks over into your yard to do his business this may be a good way to get even.Acoustics - Acoustics are what help determine the sound qualities of your home theater. The goal is to both absorb and reflect your sound. A room with too little reflection would resemble having your theater outside and would be dull and lacking bass. If your home theater design includes too much reflection the sound will echo, resembling an old stone cathedral. The goal is to include sound absorption between the screen and the seating area. This can be in the form of professional sound absorption materials or it could be in the form of drapes, carpet or bookshelves.Shape of Room - The shape of the room is important for a number of reasons. One reason is for sound quality. Bass and mid range sound can be distorted near the walls and corners. Avoid rooms that are cubic such as 8' x 8' x 8' as well as rooms where 2 of the 3 dimensions of the same. Another consideration is for the room to be as enclosed as possible and not have an open space shared with other rooms.Size of Room - The amount of available space and intended use of your room will dictate your home theater design. Some people prefer a small intimate setting for their families, while others want their home theaters to feel like the local movie theater and want to use it for entertaining friends. Neither choice is right or wrong. Just keep in mind that the room should be large enough to comfortably place several recliners or sofas. For those that want to imitate the local theater you will want to design the room big enough for several rows of dedicated home theater seating. The distance between the screen and your seating should be 1.5 to 2 times the width of your screen.Lighting - A home theater with a limited amount of natural lighting is best, especially if you plan on using a projector where it is best to keep the room as dark as possible. Lighting should be placed so that it does not cause a reflection on the screen. Lighting should be soft and comfortable. Keep in mind functional lighting that will allow guests to make it safely to the exits for a bathroom break without having to turn on all the lights.A home theater that is placed in the right location with the correct attention to sound and lighting will allow you and your family to be immersed in the action.

DIY Home Theater Additions - Home Theater Soundproofing

DIY Home Theater Additions - Home Theater Soundproofing


DIY home theater additions are quickly becoming the thing of the future. With the economy in its present state, many homeowners are looking to add value to their properties while maintaining their budget. This translates most oftentimes into three little letters: DIY. Home theater construction is just one of the many DIY projects homeowners are undertaking in an effort to add value to their homes.

When it comes to building a home theater, homeowners need to remember one thing: You can't underestimate the importance of do it yourself soundproofing! No matter how good your home theater looks, it's likely to disappoint you if you don't take care of the sound.

Why is Home Theater Soundproofing so important?

Home theater soundproofing decreases the amount of noise that escapes from your theater room into the rest of your house. Peacemaker soundproofing insulation is one type of soundproofing material that is ideal for your DIY home theater project. Installed within the walls, floors, and ceiling, these eco-friendly insulation sheets and rolls come in various thicknesses to help keep sound where it belongs.

Peacemaker's impact extends beyond the area you are soundproofing. The rubber soundproofing material puts old and recycled tires to sound use, keeping them out of already-overflowing landfills. In using products such as these to soundproof your room, you are making a difference not only in your immediate environment but in the greater one as well.

Beyond Home Theatre Soundproofing - Improve Home Theater Acoustics

When it comes to DIY home theater projects, do it yourself soundproofing is not the only requirement. Adding absorptive material to the walls of a finished home theater room is necessary to improve room acoustics. This acoustic treatment will aid in reflecting the sound that leads to echoes and reverberation. Absorptive products such as acoustic panels and sound absorption sheets work to acoustically tune a room, bringing out the sounds you want to hear and absorbing those that you don't.

Bass traps and Sonipad Anti-Vibration Isolation Platforms are other acoustic elements that can be added to your DIY home theater. Bass traps capture low-frequency sounds whereas Sonipad Platforms "float" a device (for example, a speaker) to reduce surface vibration, resulting in tighter, fuller sound.

RMS Power vs Peak Power

RMS Power vs Peak Power


RMS and Peak power are ratings used to determine the overall performance of home audio products, such as speakers, subwoofers, and amplifiers. This article is an overview of how these ratings work and are applied.

RMS Power vs Peak Power



RMS Power vs Peak Power

RMS Power refers to Root-Means-Square power. The formula for determining RMS power is 70.7 x Peak Power Rating. The RMS power rating is a measure of continuous power measured in watts and the higher the RMS power means the device is either able to provide or accept the specified power over a significant length of time without fail.

Many suppliers use the PEAK POWER ratings in their specifications. We do not recommend the use of Peak Power ratings when assessing the capabilities of a music product because Peak Power does not reflect a product's capabilities under normal, every day use. It is simply a measure of how much power can be generated of handled for a very short period of time. Speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers should be compared using the RMS power ratings to ensure that the right product is chosen for the application in question.

As an example, if a speaker has a RMS wattage rating of 100 watts and a connected amplifier has a RMS wattage rating of 100 watts, the speaker should theoretically, be a perfect match regarding power capabilities and result in optimum performance from both products. Most importantly don't be fooled by "Peaker Power" or the erroneous numbers often made up by the supplier. Only true power, under everyday, realistic circumstances actually means anything.

As a sales professional, executive manager, corporate trainer or field application engineer presenting to a key audience, everything needs to run smoothly. But in the real world, this isn't always the case. Imagine arriving at your meeting, only to discover that the on-site projector isn't functioning properly, a bulb is burned out, the right cables are missing or that a projector isn't even available in the first place. Hauling around your own standard-sized projector isn't always practical, especially with today's carry-on restrictions and short flight connection times. At this point, you can either reschedule the presentation and run the risk of losing your customers' interest (and your investment in traveling there), or simply crowd them around your notebook's screen to view - a less-than-ideal option that may come across as unprofessional and unprepared.

The picture is extremely clear. It weighs almost nothing, and the fact that it has an LED bulb means that you don't have to worry about a long cool off period before you move it an pack it away to travel. It doesn't get too hot. It is small, with big results. I have used it in a large classroom from much more than the 8 foot distance mentioned, and had a large clear picture. it is great for movies or presentations. We take it camping and show movies on the side of the motorhome.
